Simplicity

Image PeepSideshow Darkward6 Comments

1 Jewel sm

I have always said I am a simple girl. I have simple wants with just a modicum of flair to keep me from being entirely beige in my needs. I don’t know if there is a polar opposite of “high maintenance,” but if there is, that’s me.

I like old things. I adore well-made but unadorned clothes. I like pastels and pretty little baubles. I don’t want candlelit dinners in fancy restaurants; I prefer eating takeout on the sofa while listening to music. I love odd numbered objects in asymmetrical patterns. I like birdsong on a spring day.

I don’t have high expectations: blessed are those who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed. I smile at puns – the badder the better. I would rather watch kittens play than go to the ballet.

I was honoured to be selected as a blogger for The Liaison Collaborative recently. I was thrilled that the first round is themed, “Simplicity.” It suits me.

The dress by Mimikri I am wearing is from this event. The setting is a sim called :::North BAROQUED::: – nagisa. They are both simple, pastel, and like birdsong on a spring day: perfect.

For me.

Simply The Best

1 Simply The Best

Today I’m channeling my inner Tina Turner. It’s not something that I did knowingly; it just kind of turned out that way. And not that I wouldn’t kill for that grandma’s legs…

This version of Tina is brought to you by Salt & Pepper. The outfit and cuff are current offerings at separate events. The cuffs (part of one of the rare sets at Objets D’Amour) are RLV enabled. There are several kinkier items you can find at this gacha offshoot of Romp. The outfit is available at We < 3 Roleplay. You can purchase solid colours individually, but the zebra and leopard print that I am wearing are available only in the fatpack. Nothing like a couple of exclusives to justify splashing out on the full collection!

And why not? You deserve it…you’re simply the best 😉

The Comfort of a Cozy Room

1 The comfort of a cozy room sm

Everyone needs one – a room where you can display your favourite things, work on projects, curl up with a good book or just relax and enjoy the solitude. It may be a sewing room, a library or a playroom – it doesn’t matter, really, as long as it reflects what makes you happy.

What makes me happy is lots of pretty things. The beauty of Second Life is that I can create this type of space as many times as I would like in any fashion that suits my whimsy. Today, it is kind of an arts and crafts room. Who knows? Tomorrow it may be a padded cell 😉

A lot of the things in this room are from {what next}, including the bookcase and tables, which are available today for Fifty Linden Friday. Just head over to the main store to pick up yours. You’ll be well on the way to creating the comfort of a cozy room.
